Braces are very capable and apt to solve almost every type of dental or oral problem of your patients. But at the same time, you need to maintain and clean the braces regularly so that braces can work efficiently. First, we should understand what braces are, why and how we use these braces or metal brackets for dental problems and then we will understand the work, maintenance and cleaning of these orthodontic metal brackets.
What are braces and Why do we use them?
Braces are one of the most common medical or dental equipments that almost every orthodontist and dentist uses. Metal brackets sometimes also called orthodontic metal brackets are used to solve several dental problems such as misalignment of teeth, underbites, overbites, teeth crowding, spacing and other malocclusion teeth oral issues. There are many types of braces used by doctors but metal brackets and ceramic braces are the most common and useful braces in the market. These braces are made of metal and wire which are attached to your patient's teeth for strengthening and fixing their other oral or dental health issues.
What is the duration required for braces to work effectively?
Generally, using metal brackets or orthodontic metal brackets for your patient requires a different duration for each patient. It depends upon their oral health problem level. However, typically it takes between one to three years of the time to work these braces effectively on teeth.
How metal brackets work/function
Metal brackets or braces work by putting light and tolerable pressure on your patient teeth. Once you attach them to your patient's teeth, now it starts applying light and adequate pressure to your teeth. This pressure moves or gives required direction to your patient's teeth over a specific period. These braces work very fast for adolescents as their teeth and jawline see still in the developing phase and can easily be moved or can change direction.
Maintenance of braces
As an orthodontist applying metal brackets is only one work but you have to maintain these brackets till they do not make your patients orally or really healthy. Your patient has to prevent some foods such as hard candy, popcorn, gums etc because they can be trapped in your tooth and can cause tooth damage or decay. Be aware of eating sugar and starch food at a very reasonable level. You have to check your patient's braces regularly whether they are recovering from their issues or not.
Cleaning of teeth with braces
Cleaning teeth carefully is very important when you have attached metal brackets to any of your patients. General people clean their teeth two times a day but patients with braces are required to clean their teeth after every meal. Special Waterpik flosser and an interdental toothbrush can help you to navigate easily to the braces and underbites or overbites teeth easily. By following these tips your patients can clean their teeth clearly while using braces.
